Recently, while Dan was traveling... I was craving some home made chocolate chip cookies. So, I made a double batch of dough thinking it would be a good afternoon project to tackle with the kids. The next night, Maria asked if she could make the cookies with the kids. I thought it was a great idea, but of course gave her ample warning about the kids being a little extra messy with projects like this. You know... they start out being good helpers but then leave you high & dry to finish the project on your own. 
Rocco did a SUPER great job of using the utensil to make those perfect little cookie dough balls. He filled up his tray so fast with just a little help from Maria. He's such a little chef... it's really cute. Gabby got stuck on the delicious taste of the cookie dough... even after us telling her repeatedly, NOT to eat the cookie dough. So, her tray needed more help from Maria. She must have had to wash her hands 4 times while filling her one tray with dough balls because she couldn't keep her hands out of the dough!
Maria did a great job with the kids. And, she rocks because she even finished baking the rest of the cookies AND cleaned up the mess while I was in the office working. I thought for sure I would get stuck with baking the rest of the cookies and the clean-up.
